After all, the Peloponnesos is one of the warmer places in Europe and it gave me the possibility to invite some friends over to visit me.

In April I would start driving towards Italy and continue the vanlife as planned.

As you can read here, I have a sailing background and although I, almost always, had a car, driving has never been my favourite occupation. I like travelling and using a van seemed one of the ways of doing this. The play with the sea and wind was taken care of by starting kite surfing I thought.

It's not like that, sailing, living on or near the water is a different lifestyle that can not be replaced by a van plus a kite. I have to admit that. It meant that I only was driving by the sea, visiting small harbour villages and parking along the coast and longing to be out there. Slowly the thoughts of owning a boat again became stronger and stronger.

When I finally found a bargain in the form of Zephyr I knew I had to swap. Fortunately I found a friend who also was interested in the project (part of my money was in the van of course) and we bought Zephyr in Antwerp.
